Hegarty’s theoretical framework [22], students integrate both verbal and visuospatialinformation into a mental model of the concepts encoded within the representation. Thesefindings of the context-dependent nature of comprehension align well with the knowledge inpieces perspective of conceptual change, which posits that students’ conceptual knowledge is acollection of pieces that are cued depending on the context of the problem. While there is stillconsiderable debate about whether conceptual knowledge is in pieces or more monolithic [2],[7], [26], [27], we based our project on the knowledge-in-pieces perspective based on itsalignment with prior findings in the micro-level view of representations.The context-dependent nature of cognition has been

While the experience of thetransition from pre-college to First-Year Engineering is characterized by the frustration, reactionsto this frustration include both drawing from pre-college engineering as a source of motivation topersist or leaving engineering to study engineering technology in hopes of eliminating thesources of frustration in First-Year Engineering.The third way of experiencing the transition to college engineering is Tedium. The tedium is dueto having significant prior exposure to engineering projects perceived as more authentic,perceiving First-Year Engineering as less academically intense than pre-college engineering, andrepeating content already

APIs.Compared to traditional software APIs or libraries, web services provide two additionalbenefits: global accessibility and standardization. First, web services leverage thepowerful communication paradigm of the web and the ubiquitous HTTP/SMTP transportprotocols. Services may be accessed globally and via firewalls. Web services also providea lightweight approach to offering and reusing software applications. Unlike traditionalsoftware libraries that need to be downloaded and included in a project package, webservices are invoked by exchanging well-formed messages on the Web. Nothing butclient-stubs needs to be included in the project package. The user-side burden can befurther relieved when invoking RESTful services, where REST design pattern is

This work is described in [13] and indicatesthat while, as discussed, several definitions of Adaptive Expertise exist in the literature, few validatedtools for the measurement of AE have been developed. A paucity of data concerning levels of AEdisplayed by various populations was also observed. Fortunately, a survey instrument [14], originallydeveloped in 2001, was found to still be in use as a tool for measuring AE, and various studies hadindicated its reliability [9], [15].

Faculty see students useexcessive decimal digits, react with frustration to rough order-of-magnitude estimation or whenpresented with imperfect models. Faculty state that novice students seem to expect problemsolving to not involve any kind of uncertainty, experimentation, or failure.These results shed more light on the alignment of the current standard mathematics curriculumwith the needs of the engineering students and faculty.
